Where Faulkner's book consisted of handwritten notes, the 'English-Egyptian Index' appears to be poorly typed and thrown together. There are no hieroglyphics displayed whatsoever, making it useless without buying Faulkner's book as well (though I imagine that was the idea). The publisher didn't even bother to reprint the book with a phonetic font. All phonetic signs appear to have been penned onto the text, with occasionalty confusing character substitutions. Students again will have to make due, though. Just like Faulkner's dictionary, it seems to have cornered the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very specific and interesting guide to decipher Egyptian, January 3, 2001

By A Customer

This book is exactly what I was looking for. It clearly shows the pronunciation and transliteration. If your looking to study Egyptian, this book is absolutely necessary.
